All that you have written is most likely correct but as I have stated before - unnecessarily complicated and superfluous. There is already system created to gain that kind of stuff: merchant + gold = item

Crafting gives the same result, while polluting maps and inventory with junk, making it harder to find stuff that you actually want to carry (like items that you bought). The only advantage of crafting items over buying at the shop would be not having to go to merchants - which is of theoretical concern in Solasta, where there is actual world map, but not in BG3 where teleport to&from merchant would likely take less time then fighting with whatever awful UI crafting will have.
